I have an old mediavision thunderboard (circa 7/93), and whilst I realize
it's prolly as useful as tits on a bull nowadays, for just simple audio
playback it's fine....if I manage to get configure it.
The jumpers are poorly marked however (some hidden under onboard
components), and some of the abbreviations related to the jumpers are just
as obligue...(gimme a break here, I've been with amigas for over a good
decade :) I thought maybe someone on the list here may have done something
weird like kept the documentation for one of these...or memorized the
settings mentally :)
My main troubles... 2 x 4row jumpers, one marked J6 & the other J7. They
allow irq settings from 2->7 on both rows...but which irq does J6 relate
to, and which does J7 relate to? Immediately above these (towards the
backplane), is a row of three jumpers...marked respectively 'JSRD', 'TXD',
and 'MD2A'...(eh?...I can't imagine what these stand for)
Beside that, a row of 6 jumperpins...he first being marked 'ENMPU'
[that one I understand ;^], but the rest are lost under a resistor and
some lousy overlay printing.
Any help appreciated. (side note; I've always argued the case from having
a win95 machine handy, racked up with every driver for hardware known, so
that you can identify these unidentifiable 2nd cards of a few years
vintage with NO marking whatsoever, then transpose them into the linux
scene from there..if possible. Funnily, this thunderboard conflicts with
the ne1000-compat card in the winbox...even though the device bannisher
says everything's fine irq wise...pffft!!)
cheers
